单项填空
1. (2015·安徽师大附中模拟)This is the best way they have thought of ________ the ________ miners.
A. rescuing; burying B. to rescue; buried
C. to rescue; burying D. rescuing; buried
【解析】选B。句意: 这是他们所想出的营救被埋矿工的最好的办法。此句中way后跟了两个定语, 一个是定语从句they have thought of; 另一个是非谓语动词形式。way后面的定语既可用不定式也可用“of+v. -ing形式”, 因此可排除A、D两项; 另外, miners与bury之间为动宾关系, 所以应用过去分词buried作定语。
